[2017-09-22] Japan meets Brabant – Company visits to Borchwerf II and High Tech Campus Eindhoven

 

On Friday the 22nd of September, DUJAT members made a visit to several companies in Brabant, together with Brabant Development Agency (BOM) from Tilburg. First we were presented with interesting knowledge and experiences by CEVA Logistics and Uniqlo at Borchwerf II CV. We had a wonderful tour after which we left for High Tech Campus Eindhoven.

Here we first visited Shimano European Head Quarters, and heard about their interesting story: why did they choose  this location? After Shimano we had an amazing light experience at Philips Lighting Application Center, and closed the day with a reception at Grand Café The Colour Kitchen.

To DUJAT members and Brabant relations, thank you all for joining our event, and we thank Brabant Development Agency, Borchwerf II CV, Province Brabant and both companies at High Tech Campus Eindhoven for the nice cooperation. Hopefully we will repeat the Brabant experience next year!

Dear members of DUJAT,

It is our pleasure to invite you to join another special DUJAT company visit, which will take place on Friday the 22nd of September. This time we are headed for Brabant, where we have arranged several company visits in collaboration with Brabant Development Agency (BOM), Borchwerf II CV and High Tech Campus Eindhoven.

The companies who will present us with their knowledge and experiences are CEVA Logistics, Shimano, and also Philips Lighting.

You will experience excellent logistics operations at Ceva Logistics, serving their Japanese customers Uniqlo, Muji and Roland DG with ultimate passion. In Eindhoven you will enter the heart of technology. We are most happy to introduce you in this extremely innovative ecosystem. You will experience open innovation and an energizing business climate. At Shimano European Head Quarters,  the rationale behind their choice for HTC Eindhoven is given. At Philips Lighting Application Center, we get the latest insights with regard to lighting: Philips puts a spot light on the Olympics of Tokyo 2020…

For this event we will arrange bus transport from our BOM office in Tilburg. We will depart together at 11.30 hours from our DUJAT office in Amstelveen (Prof. J.H. Bavincklaan 3). You can park your car here (free of charge). If you want to make use of our bus transport, please fill in accordingly on the registration form attached to this e-mail.

It is highly recommended to register for our bus transport since we will also travel between locations during the day and parking your car is difficult nearby the locations we will visit.  In the bus, DUJAT will provide a sushi lunch for on our way.
